Comparitive Study of Phytoremediation of Arsenic using Eichhornia Crassipes (Mart.) Solms Roots and Arabidopsis thaliana( L.) Heynh Roots
Keywords:
Arsenic, Hyperaccumulator, Phytoremediation.Abstract
Phytoremediation involves the use of plants to remove toxic compounds from water. Arsenic is an element of considerable environmental and toxicological interest because of its potential deleterious effects upon human health [14-15]. The present study highlights the scope of biological strategy for As removal through phytoremediation. In this research, a laboratory-constructed experimental set up was employed to characterize for the absorption of arsenic by two plants root which are Arabidopsis thaliana ( L.) Heynh. and also Eichhornia crassipes(Mart.) Solms were taken and experiments were done on them with a control set up of experiment. The result of Arabidopsis thaliana ( L.) Heynh. Plant root of 40 gm after 6 hours treatment, half of arsenic concentration reduced to its initial concentration. 75
